NCSTer Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) Found this little guy in some Castle Hayne formation micro-matrix from Eastern North Carolina. I've tentatively ID'd it as Daysatis sp. Please, confirm, correct or if possible ID to species? Also, In the 3rd and 4th pix, do you think the circular "structure" on the surface is diagnostic, pathologic, damage or ?? Scale is 1mm. (And, please excuse my ugly green clay!) Thanks.

GeschWhat Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Great photos! It will be interesting to see what the experts say about the tooth. Lori www.areallycrappystory.com/fossils www.facebook.com/fossilpoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 The tooth is Cretaceous. It is Rhombodus binkhorsti. Cretaceous teeth are frequently reworked into the Castle Hayne Formation. If the matrix was collected from spoil piles, it could be a mixture of Peedee Formation and Castle Hayne. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still trying to figure out the Dino-lite. 8 hours ago, Al Dente said: The tooth is Cretaceous. It is Rhombodus binkhorsti. Thanks for the corrected ID! I had sort of ruled that one out because of size. Guess its likely a juvenile? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
